Very nice overview and tribute!

(one note: Star Trek II was 1982, Star Trek III was '84).

Very nice Randall. It brings back fond memories of your chronicling of the emergence of an exciting new talent (in CinemaScore).

Very nice Randall. It brings back fond memories of your chronicling of the emergence of an exciting new talent (in CinemaScore).

Thanks. I've just realized that the first issue with my James Horner interview (CS #10) was the same issue that featured the first interview with another new-face on the filmscoring field, Basil Poledouris. Both tremendous talents and both have left a big hole in the universe that not even all of their music can fill in.

Yes. That issue was great. I read and re-read it over the years until it finally turned to dust. That publication, CinemaScore, remains unchallenged as my favorite of all (including FSM and Soundtrack). From the wonderful reviews, the in-depth (and superbly written) articles and the great interviews, each issue was an oasis for connaisseur's of fine film music,

Thank you - you honor and gratify me with your kind words! Little by little much of CinemaScore's content is being archived at http://www.runmovies.eu/, along with some of Soundtrack's and some other tidbits.

I got some CinemaScore editions back in the late 90s, and was also impressed by the scope. There was one edition, in particular (can't remember which -- some kind of anniversary?) that was almost thick like a book. It had a greenish cover, and something about Herman Stein on the cover? I can double-check, but it's stowed away in a cupboard at the moment.

Thanks for the Horner article, btw, Randall.

Hi Thor, thanks for the comment. That was issue 13/14, a thick side stapled edition, 1985. Issue #15, the last one, came out in 1987; it was bigger (168 pages) and bound like a book. After that CinemaScore merged with Soundtrack magazine until its demise.

Thank you for this beautiful tribute to a wonderful composer.
James will be sadly missed......God bless him.
